I think it is. When you dramatically increase the size of goalies, dramatically increase the size of their equipment, and dramatically increase their training and skill, you're effectively reducing the size of the net. Even with the increased power and skill of players, and composite sticks, scoring is going relentlessly down.

Hockey is entertainment. Scoring off the rush and from passing plays is far more entertaining than garbage goals, rebounds, and tipped point shots. I don't want hockey to become a 2-1 sport. And before people chime in with reducto absurdum claims that about 7-5 games, the proposals out there are about tweaking the game, not radically remaking it.
